I’ve mentioned before, I spend over $100 a month (yes, literally), on all these subscriptions, and I just can’t justify spending more (‘cause I keep justifying it all the time and that’s how it’s gotten to over $100). Not when there are only a couple of times per year I’d ever watch it.

if there is a race or two you really want to see I will see what I can do (quietly)

From NC St, Gapes (the New Zealand young lady FR), Shulz (from NY) made 2nd to last heat of 5000 along with Howlett and Shaw while several from UNC are 1 heat prior. Have these runners progressed that much (low 16's?)?

None of those UNC women are low 16's. Hansen's track 5k PB is 16:42, the other two are in the 16:20's. Schulz has a faster 5k track PB than either Hansen or Parks, and is 1 second behind Neglia. It's also possible UNC wanted their runners to race together so they fell back to where Hansen would be seeded.

As for Gapes, likely just a case of to the victors host team goes the spoils.

to be clear my question of low 16s was directed toward the NC St runners. But perhaps there is a team strategy to this but one would hope the runners would be competitive in their heat. Or maybe the tail end of the "fast" heat is slower than I thought.

I would not be surprised if they found out who is racing the 5K at the Stanford invite and decided that for Tuohy instead. It gives her an extra week between nats and racing again.

also, it could be as simple as maybe she got a cold and just decided to rest

someone posted something that UVA was trying to set up some "elite" heats at meets so that could be evolving as well. I did look at the CA meets from last year and could not find anything 15:00 or faster - from WA it looks like the only sub 15 races in the US last year were the Pre and the WC.

Yeah there is not much. If she wants to hit the standard for this summer (sub 14:57) I posted this before, but they should figure out where Morgan and some others are running and do that. Even if she places top 3 I don't think she will be on the team without it, but I could be wrong.

Only Rogers and Henes have run the standard so far in the qualifying period (July 30 22- July 30 23). A few others (Monson, Cranny, Shweizer) have the ranking. I think that leaves quite a few US runners without the ranking or the standard.

Monson ran 14:37 in the diamond league final, does that not count because of the weird track?

yes she did, but that was in Norway. I think we were looking for times run in the US.
